Re:Whatever happened to "new unionism" in the UK? - 04/11/2006 02:54
Hi
Thanks for these replies. The answer isn't simple, it seems. I don't think we should get hung up on the pros and cons of partnership -- the research is conclusive: workers want to find ways to engage constructively with their bosses. Would you be available for a short interview by email on this subject, Paul? Or could I phone you sometime? I'm currently based in France, where I'm communications officer with an international labour group, though that's another story...
Just as an aside, I was surprised by Andy Stern's new book - A Country That Works - and would recommend it to anybody interested in this field. The union I came from before is also growing very rapidly, and has been for a number of years now, using a variant of the organization + partnership approach.
